北朝鮮への石油精製品輸出停止を　上限超過と指摘―日米など

　【ニューヨーク時事】米国や日韓など４３カ国は２４日、北朝鮮の今年の石油精製品輸入量が国連安保理決議の定める年間５０万バレルの上限を超えたと指摘する文書を安保理の北朝鮮制裁委員会に提出した。船舶間の洋上積み替え「瀬取り」を通じた密輸入を続けている結果で、年内の北朝鮮への石油精製品輸出を停止するよう求める通知を国連加盟国に出すよう制裁委に要請している。安保理外交筋が明らかにした。
　米国などは２０１８年と１９年にも同様の要請を行ったが、いずれも中国とロシアに阻止され、輸出停止には至っていない。（2020/07/25-07:56）

A total of 43 countries including the United States, Japan and South Korea claimed on Friday that North Korea's imports of oil products so far this year had exceeded an annual ceiling of 500,000 barrels under U.N. Security Council resolutions.
   The countries made the claim in a document submitted to a Security Council committee on sanctions against North Korea, according to diplomatic sources.
   They asked the sanctions committee to issue a notice urging U.N. member countries to stop shipments of oil products to North Korea until the end of this year.
   The United States and others made similar requests in 2018 and 2019, only to see them blocked by China and Russia.
   North Korea is believed to be secretly continuing imports through offshore ship-to-ship cargo transfer.
